Wow. I loved this. It was deeply disturbing, scary and also really moving. I had most of it worked out before the end, but still found some surprises. This was a really great read that I'll be recommending to my circles!

This book began in a way that I thought I knew exactly where it was going to go but flipped so I could’ve never predicted what would happen. When you intake so much horror it can all start to feel similar and I’m impressed with what this story accomplished. I was drawn in by the POV of a cat but enjoyed this read more than I could’ve ever anticipated.

I love a well-written Gothic thriller, but this too dark for me to enjoy. It left a grimy bad feeling in my stomach.
